deeredawn	Posted - Jun 01 2009 : 4:16:45 PM Most of us think of charity during the holidays. I know for me its about the only time I remember to give to those who are less fortunate. However, those less fortunate aren't just down on their luck during Christmas. They go without in the spring and summer too. I keep thinking of all these kids that might have to go without lunch this summer when they get it fed to them at school. I also have on my mind, some near and dear single moms struggling because they just lost their jobs. So, I thought it'd be neat to do a... FARMGIRL FOOD DRIVE You have from now, until September 30 to donate food to your local food bank, shelter etc. It doesn't matter if its canned or fresh - although I bet some fresh veggies would be welcome (hint hint mavens!). The challenge is to donate a 10,000 pounds nationwide. For those of you overseas, we will keep track of those records as well. I want you to weigh the bags, boxes, whatever and send me the poundage amount via email or post them right here. I will keep track of the numbers and post them on the forum this fall. Who knows, there might even be a prize to who donates the most food.... So lets farmgirl up and feed some peeps! er, I mean, people!

deeredawn	Posted - Sep 30 2009 : 07:00:17 AM Today is the last day of the Challange. We did half of the goal, which is tremendous! I had a whim of an idea and it was farmgirl spirit like yours that took that whim and whipped it into shape. My heart is full thinking of all the people in this economy that benefited from fresh, wholesome food. Thank you so much for playing and soon you should be receiving a small token of my appreciation. I am humbled and honored to stand next to you. Kisses!

deeredawn	Posted - Sep 17 2009 : 06:23:22 AM Tammy, I feel the same way. A while ago, I posted a thread about my Purpose. All I can think of is making someone else's day a little brighter. Having friends to do it with just makes it a little more special. Thank you for your kind words. I am humbled, and am keeping your parents in my thoughts and prayers. Remember: Bluffton ain't so far away that I can't make that drive...you need me...you just call/email. I'll drive over and keep you company!

Tammyb	Posted - Sep 16 2009 : 4:36:00 PM Dawn, This "challenge" has done wonders for my heart.

Thank you for thinking and acting... this was a great challenge. Tammyb Sisterchick #541 Oh by the way another Boston Marrow squash left today and was around 10# Live to leave a legacy
